WHAT IS AIDS? AIDS is caused by a virus called HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. If you get infected with HIV, your body will try to fight the infection. It will make “antibodies,” special molecules to fight HIV. A blood test for HIV looks for these antibodies. If you have them in your blood, it means that you have HIV infection. People who have the HIV antibodies are called “HIV-Positive.” Fact Sheet 102 has more information on HIV testing. Being HIV-positive, or having HIV disease, is not the same as having AIDS.

Prep-U HIV Answer: a) HIV is a retrovirus overtaking living cells to duplicate itself. Explanation: HIV is a retrovirus, a virus that overtakes the biosynthesis of living cells to duplicate itself. HIV invades a normal cell and uses that cell's biomechanisms to reproduce new HIV cells. The terms HIV and AIDS are not synonymous. HIV is the virus responsible for causing AIDS, but the person who is HIV positive does not automatically have AIDS. HIV is not curable, it is only treatable. The nurse is caring for a client undergoing testing for HIV.

What is the difference between HIV and AIDS? HIV, or the human immunodeficiency virus, is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV destroys the body's immune system by killing the blood cells that fight infection. Once HIV destroys a substantial proportion of these cells, the body's ability to fight off and recover from infections is compromised. This advanced stage of HIV infection is known as AIDS.
